Panama is located at the southern tip of Central America, bordering Colombia. If you ask your peers about their impression of this country, they will probably answer "Canal". The isthmus, located in the North and South American continent, has been of great strategic value since the 16th century. In the early 19th century, Panama was politically more southward, and at one point formed the Republic of Great Colombia with Colombia, Vaguadore and Venezuela. But since 1903, it has seceded from the alliance with the help of the United States, and its national fortune was destined to be linked to the United States at the moment the canal was built.

The Panama Canal, which runs through Central America and connects the Pacific, Caribbean and Atlantic oceans, not only opens up shipping trade, but also brings a great deal of agricultural knowledge from the United States and Europe. Many retirees in North America choose Banama dwelling, which has a low temperature and a low number of live fingers, and then promote the spread of fine caffeine and the story of Kui Cuizhuang Garden.

Coffee was introduced into Panama in 1780, when Europeans introduced the first Typica trees. The unique microclimate (micro-climate) in many producing areas of Panama is suitable for the growth of boutique coffee. Rain Water of Panama, sometimes from the Pacific Ocean, sometimes from the Atlantic Ocean. At the end of the rainy season, a northerly wind that locals call "Bajareque" blows like air in the mountains of Panama, slowing the ripening rate of coffee fruit and raising sugar content.

Today, we bring you the German roaster Dinzler coffee bean Panama Don Benjie, which comes from the beautiful coffee plantation Hacienda Bajo Mono on the slopes of Bar ú, located in the north of Boquete, one of the highest volcanoes in Central America. The variety is Typica Tibica and the planting poster is 1500 meters high.

The Hacienda plantation, located near the birthplace of the Caldera River in the Bajo Mono Canyon, is 1400 to 1550 meters above sea level. Bajo Mono is one of the best places to produce high-quality Panamanian coffee because of its volcanic soil, clear fountains, and what locals call the "Bajareque" climate phenomenon. When the water vapor of the Pacific and Atlantic meets, when the wind rises, haze rises in the mountains, and rainbows are often seen, all of which form a unique microclimate. So that the coffee trees in this area can have a better growth environment and quality.

Looking back at the history of the Hacienda plantation, we can see that the emphasis on environmental protection and ecology was originally owned by an American, Ms. Archer, who was one of the pioneers of Boquete. In the 1980s, Dr. Renan Esquivel, a well-known Panamanian pediatrician and nature lover, bought the plantation several times. He planted many exotic trees, plants and coffee varieties. The current owner is StefanArwedM ü ller, who has been operating the Hacienda plantation since 2011 and is committed to further improving the quality of coffee beans and protecting the ecology of the area where the plantations are located, and the coffee beans produced are named C a f é D o n B en j ie.

The Hacienda plantation uses tiny Micro to produce premium coffee raw beans, starting with careful picking of coffee fruits and then using natural raw bean treatment, washed, semi-washed or insolated. While the eco-treatment plant in the park uses very limited water to process coffee in order to make a contribution to the environment, the Hacienda plantation strives for the excellent taste of all coffee beans produced in the original.
